Veterinarians Researched by Lizzy W RESEARCH REPORT MY INTERVIEW BIBLIOGRAPHY ... ABOUT THE AUTHOR DEDICATION WHY I CHOSE THIS TOPIC SELF-EVALUATION THANK YOU Job Responsibilities Veterinarians are animal doctors who treat sick and injured animals. They help healthy animals stay healthy. Veterinarians not only treat cats, dogs, snakes and all kinds of pets, but they also treat zoo animals and farm animals. Most veterinarians work with small animals that people keep for pets like cats, dogs, and birds. They perform surgery, treat illnesses, and board both sick and healthy animals that need a temporary place to stay. They hold lost pets too. Some veterinarians work with larger animals, Such as horses, cattle and sheep. Many veterinarians work as inspectors in the food industry. They examine the meat for signs of disease. A small number of veterinarians also teach in schools of veterinary medicine. Work Hours Most veterinarians work 50 hours or more a week and about 20% work 40 hours per week. Those in private clinical practice may work nights and weekends. The increased number of emergency clinics has reduced the amount private practitioners have to be on call. Large animals practitioners tend to work more irregular hours than those in small animal practice, industry, or government. Veterinarians who are just starting practice tend to work longer hours. Where They Work Most veterinarians work in veterinarian offices. Many veterinarians also make house calls, especially for larger animals like for horses and cows. Some veterinarians work from a van or truck and only make house calls. Some veterinarians work in zoos and work with wild animals like lions and elephants. Some work in the food industries, inspecting food processing plants and some work in the food production industry for animals.

92. Zoobooks - The Encyclopedia Of Animals Most zoos require that keepers have a college degree and solid handson As you begin your quest for an animal career, keep in mind these three elements. http://www.zoobooks.com/teachers/zooCrew/info.html

Teaching Resources : ZooCrew So, you want to work with animals...... Zoobooks readers often write in and ask, "How do I become a veterinarian, animal trainer, handler, keeper, photographer, writer, and the curator of fishes?" The same way you get to Carnegie Hall—practice, practice, practice! In other words, it’s hard work: there’s stiff competition for jobs, the pay is often low, dedication high, and the hours long and laborious. However, if you are willing to do what it takes, there’s always room for excellence in every profession. Following, we’ve listed facts about some of the most asked about animal careers. Zoo Keeper Doctor of Veterinary Medicine To become a veterinarian, a person must earn a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Degree (D.V.M.) or its equal. To apply for admission to veterinary school, a student must have successfully finished four years of undergraduate study, which includes courses in biology and physical sciences, social sciences, mathematics, language arts, and the humanities. However, many students with excellent grade point averages and lots of experience are turned away from veterinary schools each year. The competition to enter is tough. Animal Trainer and/or Handler Animal trainers and handlers work in many different fields, including TV, movie, theater, circus, zoo, aquarium, and in specialty areas such as basic dog obedience and the training of canine companions for the blind and disabled, law enforcement, and the military. The Navy trains dolphins and sea lions to perform rescue and reconnaissance operations. Many trainers and handlers are self-taught, some have learned skills through military and/or police service, and others have taken classes. Apprenticeships, 4-H programs, and internships all provide good background training. Competition for jobs in this area is tough and salaries vary greatly.
